KIRKWOOD of to-day, whose trans parent honesty commands personal respect whatever one may think of their beliefs and actions, Mr. JAMES MAXTON is a young man of real rhetorical power who will probably be sobered by advancing years. But the Labour Party as a whole sees that in the past men of this type have led them into a morass and that to-day the nation is utterly sick of the gospel of of any kind.
